Maybe. I think class has a way of showing itself though. With Dykes and Head, for instance, neither had much of a run in the side, but you could see the quality they had anyway.

Fair point.

agree with both, people have been far too happy to applaud Horne because he's a Hull lad, yes he is devoted and FC to the core, he's also been paid, on average, £100k a year for at least 5 years, that is HALF A MILLION POUNDS, people need to start being honest, even 2 more years at full bak he'll get £70k a year (minimum), I would imagine, with testemonials and other years in the squad he'll have take £1m off FC for his services over the years, nice work if you can get it.



(and I am NOT calling Richard, he is a good player, but he hasn't been worth £1m+ over his RL career)

Pleased about Horney going to f/back, he is excellent under the high ball and appears to have got a bit of his speed back this season.

Maybe there are some legs in the Finch rumour

I think this is a good decision all round. Horne is not the player he was, but is still a good SL level fullback, and is a good runner in broken play. Moving to fullback will also potentially extend his SL career by another few years.



It now gives the club the opportunity to bring in a top class no6, and add much needed pace and creativity in to our halves.

Horne to FB, Seymour to SO and a new scrum half sounds good to me though im not convinced Hornes body could cope with the rigours of being a full back.

I could be a good move for Horne as well. Probably a less physical workload at fullback may keep him from picking up any more injuries . Good move imo.

Not this again. I've been one of Horne's staunchest defenders and I'm not even [ifrom[/i Hull. Possibly people just have a different opinion of him to yours?

finch is overated.

One thing people seem to be forgetting is how much we've missed Horne's defence since he's been out. Playing at FB we'll have to find someone else to do that defensive work and it doesn't look like either Niklas or Ellis are up to it ATM.

Were you at the Wigan game ? Bossed the show.

yes ,against an a team.
